turned out to problem with the vanos-which apparently regulates the valve timing.
anyway a bill of €1200 but 90% covered under goodwill by bmw.
they would not pay for the programming of these so i picked up the extra tab.
only €140 an hour labour!-are they having a laugh.

A,2 year warranty in ireland-joke-3 year for same car 20 miles up the road in northern ireland.

b,140 euro an hour has to be criminal

c,when does the good will run out?

previous problem with the turbo flaps-any chance they could be related??
